@Tony R Once the Union was formed, secession was not an option. In for a penny, in for a pound. They had their chance to not ratify the Articles of Confederation. They had a second chance when it came to ratifying the Constitution. They chose NOT to go it alone! Democrats of Robert...

Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Hogan's disavowal of Mr. Peroutka incorrectly implies that he had avowed him to start with. Mr. Hogan's campaign manager's statement, "Those views have never been part of the Republican Party..." is vague and lacks clarity about what "those views" are. For The Sun to print this story with no evidence that Mr. Peroutka is anything but a respected scholar and teacher of the U.S. Constitution is unfortunate.

If Mr. Peroutka is a racist, why did he give Eric Knowles, who is African-American, favorable coverage when he ran for governor? If he is a racist, why does he feature commentaries from Robert Broadus, who is also African-American? And for The Sun to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center in its articles as a credible reference to label any individual or group as racist only shows a total lack of journalistic responsibility.

The SPLC considers anyone who believes in the Constitution and or the Bible extremist. It has listed former presidential candidate Charles Baldwin, Gun Owners of America's Larry Pratt and Tenth Amendment Center's Michael Boldin in its Hate Watch. The same organization also paints great people like libertarian blogger Lew Rockwell and Judge Andrew Napolitano as extremists. SPLC even consulted with Homeland Security to label pro-lifers, third party activists and patriots as a threat. SPLC's portrayal of the League of the South as a "hate group" is just another meaningless label.

This is yellow journalism at its worst, aimed at one of Maryland's finest constitutional statesmen.

An attorney who co-founded the Institute on the Constitution and belongs to a Southern secessionist organization widened his lead in a Republican primary for a seat on the Anne Arundel County Council on Wednesday.

Last week, a Garrett County resident testified in Annapolis that Maryland should proceed with fracking, the dangerous industrial practice recently banned in New York. He claimed that Western Maryland needs the jobs. I ask, what jobs?
